Daniel Rey

Background

Daniel Rey is the husband of Kristie and father to both his teenaged daugher, Ali, and infant son, Hunter. His only main appearance in the Paranormal Activity Series is in the second installment. He has brief cameos in the third and fourth installments of the franchize.

Story

In 2005, he uses his camera to tape the construction of a new room and telling Hunter through the camera about how he got his room which he perspectively would have one day watch when he was older. He tapes his wife Kristie who is pregnant with Hunter at the time painting the room.

Throughout the story, he is shown to be a rational, successful man (possibly a corporate manager of a franchise) with no spiritual background making him the main skeptic. When his wife, Martine, and his daughter try to warn him about unusual things happening in their household, he dismisses it as nonsense or as a joke.

One night at 10:00pm, everyone is out for the night except the housekeeper and baby Hunter. The demon haunts the house while Martine babysits Hunter. Martine very aware of the evil presense grabs baby Hunter, begins to pray while performing an act cleansing the house from evil. Daniel and Kristie catch her in the act and have no idea of the events that took place and dismiss her from their services saying "he does not believe in that stuff." His daughter, Ali, was upset with him for firing Martine.

When his daughter finally shows him a tape of Kristie being attacked, he calls Martine saying he should have listen to her. To his relief, they come up with a solution to save his wife. He uses the cross to exorcise the demon within her, burns a picture of a young Katie, forcing the demon to follow, haunt, and torment her in place of his wife.

Two months pass. October, 12th, 2006, a day after Katie is fully possessed by the demon, she comes to their household during the nighttime hours and snaps his neck killing him, kills his wife, Kristie, and kidnaps Hunter. Ali comes home to find her father and step mother dead and hunter missing.
